Loader Removal question XR4047HC

[ShowMeguy]

I've been looking online at how hard it is to detach from the loader itself? All I can find is information on the quicktach loader attachments.

Has anyone got any feedback on removing the loader from the frame?

You'll notice that I don't own that model but I do own a LS R3039 with a loader.

Pretty easy to remove --- maybe 10 minutes to park it and lower the support arms and disconnect two pins and the hydraulics. I will say that practice makes perfect. First time took me the better part of an hour to figure it out. What did I have to figure out? Well, which support arm holes to use --- there are two options. The importance of picking a level site. How the hydraulics help you remove it. Maybe other things that I've forgotten by now ------

I regularly remove the loader to mow and disc.

The only thing I can add is when you pull the pins you tilt the bucket to raise the rear arms off the frame. When they are raised up I shut off the tractor and work the joy stick to relieve the pressure so the hoses uncouple easier. I know the loader is heavy so use a level hard surface. I took mine off when discing up my small pasture to keep from snagging it with the bucket. Still managed to snag a piece of it with the drag on the disc.

Ok... Sounds like it's close to what I've seen out there for the NewHolland that it looks so close to.

Thanks, both of you for the feedback

The New Holland is an LS that has been re-badged.
